Hi, I have an 11 week old daughter and in the beginning I was reading every book and piece of material I could get on settling/sleeping. I was told cuddling her to sleep would teach her bad habits and that she "should" be having 3-4 sleeps during the day of 2-3 hours. In the end I just thought the only reason why I shouldn't be cuddling her to sleep is for my benefit not hers. It wou;d make my life easier. I thought about that and decided I had no right to make my life easier. I prayed for her and wanted her and now it's up to me to care and love her the way she needs. She's now 11 weeks old and I'm no longer stressed about what the books say. They don't know my baby. She doesn't always need a cuddle to go to sleep but when she does I cherish it as she's already growing up too fast. She still doesn't sleep much during the day unless I'm out at the shops but I'm ok with it.
